Hey guys, hoping on here because I’m a small content creator (for fun) and i use kdenlive almost exclusively to edit my larger stream vods into youtube videos, i have consistently ran into this issue lately and have been forced to save my projects in 2 locations every time I’m going to close the application.
I am on the latest version of Kdenlive (24.12.2)
Here are my steps for reproduction:
- Create a project use some clips and effects, save the project using CTRL + S then close the program
- Open the .KDENLIVE file with the label of the project
- You should see a model/window popping up titled “Clip Problems”
Here i also see that the Type is “Clip” the status is “Fixed” the Original Path seems correct (despite the file in that path containing no .mp4s), this filepath is always in the /preview folder of the project and it is always the last numerical preview mp4, in my current case “C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Local/kdenlive/cache/1740667935046/preview/1975.mp4” ~the New Path is always empty
things i’ve tried
reinstalling kdenlive did not solve me
clicking search manually does not work, in the past I’ve had this issue and the mp4 previews were in that specified file but it would still crash shortly after entering the path and clicking “ok” with a clip in the top left panel labeled (in this case) “1975.mp4”
replace with placeholder also appears to do nothing.
pressing ok by itself crashes in the same manner as above
deleting the clip and pressing ok also causes a the same crash as above
